A Muslim woman must thank Allah for His blessings and use them in obedience to Him, and supplicate frequently for afflicted Muslims, and not wish for affliction. Furthermore, a servant who is blessed, if he is grateful and fears Allah, his status is not less than that of the afflicted one who is patient.
Allah Almighty says: "If you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor]" (Ibrahim: 7). One must ask Allah for continuous well-being in this world and the Hereafter.
